After a football themed commercial, Junior the mean little kid cause his own terror on the field. His mom thinks she’s not big enough to play football, but the little tyke has his ways of dealing with the big guys. Can cats play football? It’s a good thing cats have nine lives. Despite his troublemaking, mom takes Junior to the game. In the stands, Junior goes to get a hot dog… alone… and you know what that means. He may end up with a whipping.
